Unbeatable Rooftop Views of Madison
Ask any Madisonian to name the best view in downtown Madison and the one answer you’re most likely to get is “the rooftop garden at Monona Terrace.” With a panoramic view that encompasses Lake Monona, the State Capitol Building, and downtown Madison, the view from the 68,000 sq ft William T. Evjue Rooftop Garden offers the perfect summer setting for rooftop dining and taking in the downtown skyline and tranquil waters of Lake Monona.
Monona Terrace is centered in the downtown Madison skyline, and the view is truly panoramic and breathtaking, especially from Lake Vista Café. To the south, you’ll see Olin Park and Pavillion across Lake Monona as well as the Capital City Trail that runs along John Nolen Drive. Of course, Lake Monona is an expansive central view and is 2 miles or more across at almost every point from your view. To the north, you’ll see Hudson Park and in the distance is the Olbrich Botanical Gardens.
And on either side of your view at Lake Vista Café is the eclectic and stunning architecture of downtown Madison. Perhaps the most noteworthy of buildings is directly behind the view of the lake – the Wisconsin State Capitol Building. This stately structure is just down Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and is another can’t-miss location in Madison.
